Tell me about it, I'm with Tmobile and we just got the news 2 days ago that Tmobile will be entering into a total buyout by ATT. Not sure whats going to happen with that, but I've got a funny feeling its not going to be good.

Only bright spot for me is that both providers are GSM with similar technology.

I wouldn't worry about it as it isn't gonna happen anytime soon, if at all. It will take at least a year to get through all the regulatory hoops and close the deal. Even Congress is going to have a hearing and look into it. Politicians have to have their hands in everything these days I guess. Plus after it closes, it will take a while to get everything integrated. my guess is you are looking at 18 to 24 months minimum. No sense getting your knickers in a knot about it now.
